KILLED BY KINDNESS
Unfortunately conifers can actually drown when over watered. Clay soils do not allow water to drain off and roots are cut off from oxygen that they require. Pines are particularly at risk of drowning if planted in soil that does not drain or low spots with standing water. For tight clay in hot sunny and windy sites the junipers are good choices: Wichita Blue and Table Top Blue Juniper are your best selections for extreme wind conditions and in clay soils. Follow our guide on watering for establishment and pay extra attention to be sure that the tree or shrub is not standing in water before more water is applied.

WINTER WATERING
Even though we consider the evergreens to be some of the toughest plants, they are not totally dormant in winter and continue to lose moisture through their needles year round. For establishment purposes we recommend watering new plants monthly in dry open winters. Water established plants once or twice a winter depending on soil moisture and temperature. Our water is hard, focus your attention on the roots and not on the foliage! Newly planted deciduous trees and shrubs should be watered once or twice a winter.
